iOS Xcode errors - Help -

[Aephix]

Hello guys I'm pretty new to Xcode and programming for iOS in general, however I've recently written some code for my application and I am having 3 errors which are:

In the ViewController.m section.

The issues are:

1st Error

Semantic Issue - Undeclared selector 'missleMovement'

missleMovementTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.01 target:self selector:@selector (missleMovement) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

2nd Error

ARC Semantic Issue - No visible @interface for 'ViewController' declares the selector 'gameOver'

[self gameOver];

3rd Error

Semantic Issue - Use of undeclared identifier 'missleMovement'

-(void)missleMovement

These are the 3 parts of my whole code that is giving issues. I'm not sure why I'm a newbie if you can understand any of the errors and give advice I would appreciate that.

If you require more info in regards to the application I can freely explain to give a better understanding.

Pleas post your code for every method declaration. Maybe you jst speled somthing wrng.

What you posted shows missleMovement. Note the spelling carefully. Should there be another 'i' in the word "missle", i.e. should it be "missile"? No one here can say for sure, because you didn't post enough code.

Even with that being corrected I'm still receiving that error however I will update the thread with the full code.

Thank you!

        scoreString = [NSSTring stringWithFormat:@"SCORE: %i", score];

That line of code has a error in it. I saw one more in that same method. Like Chown33 said look over the way you spelled everything. You should be getting a Red Error mark on that line, and also one more line that I saw in this same method that had a typo.

Well even fixing small mistakes like that which has not caused me any errors does not fix the stated errors.

I'm still trying to figure it out while I'm seeking answers. But I have not been able to solve it at the moment.

 

[Aephix]

Thanks for going through my code I have literally fixed all of the spelling mistakes that I've found and I have searched for misspelt words also I can guarantee that my code is 100% accurate on spelling here is an image below of the error I am getting it may give you a better idea of what's going on.

Thanks a lot for the help.

1. Please post the file "ViewController.h". The posted code is importing this file, but I don't see the file itself.

I can tell some things are missing from the posted code, because there are no declarations for variables like friendlyShip, enemyShip, motherShip. I'm guessing those are declared in ViewController.h, but it's just a guess.


2. You have mismatched {}'s, and probably an extraneous @end. Here's the tail end of your posted code:

    @end}
@end

Double-click the } that immediately follows the @end. It should select everything between the matching { and the } you double-clicked. Now without deselecting anything, scroll up to where the selection begins. You should find it's here:

-(void)enemyMovement {

So one problem is there's an @end inside the method enemyMovement. This is wrong.

Another problem is that the enemyMovement method contains sub-methods (not allowed in Obj-C), apparently because you neglected to put a } at the proper place. The proper place is probably before this:

-(void)missileMovement {

3. If you're working from a tutorial or book, exactly which one? Post its URL or the book's title, author, and what page your code is from.

Knowing what you're working from and with is important context for us to understand the code you posted.

Thank you for the quick replies I have added the ViewController.h file. The suggestions you made I will implement them and try to follow up on them and see if they fix the issues once I have done that I'll reply with what happened.

Thank you once more!

You're a legend I've officially fixed my code with no errors.

Thank you very much! I hope if in the future I have some questions etc you'll be fine if I maybe contact you in regards to it?

If not once again thanks for the help sir!

You're quite welcome. Glad it solved the problem.

I only answer public posted questions. If you have a question in the future, start a thread here. That way a lot more people can look at it and attempt to answer it.
